Daniel 3:24-25

24Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?" They replied, "Certainly, O king." 25He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."

Discussion Questions

  1. Which of the zany B-TV sketches was your favorite? Which of them taught you something new about idols?
  2. Before listening to this month's episode, how would you have described an idol? What about now?
  3. Read Judges 10:6-16 together. How is this moment in Israel's history similar to the decision facing the H.M.S. Bounty's crew as it tried to fill a God-shaped hole?
  4. What do you think French theologian John Calvin meant when he said, "The human heart is a factory of idols"?
  5. Did you enjoy hearing from Madge and Guy again for the first time since Album 1? What's the most meaningful gift you've ever received? What about the best gift you've ever given to someone else?
  6. How did Guy's pursuit of wealth distract him from his true love? How can idols get in the way of our relationship with our true love, Jesus?
  7. How is coveting a form of idolatry? Do you struggle with wanting things you don't have, or can you say that you are content, like the Apostle Paul did in Philippians 4:12?
  8. The writers of 1 John 5:21 and Psalm 135:15-18 share a similar warning about idols, yet use very different language to get the message across. Read both passages. Which one speaks to you more?
  9. How can we tell if something good is starting to become an idol? According to Connie, how can that imbalance be corrected without giving up the "good thing"?

Quotes

Madge: Guy, are you up to something?
Guy: Why would you say that?
Madge: Well, you look so tired all the time. You still can't sleep through the night. Last night you said you had to get up to take a walk. What is it?
Guy: It's this thing I do with my legs to get from one place to another.
